Again, a little lean but no biggie..

sandblaster:
Then, I found the problem...
When I put a little pressure on this valve guide, the KIPPS stop moving.



I put a straight edge over the other valve guides and this is the only one sticking up about .002" above the surface of the cylinder base.
So, I grabbed a cylinder I've had sitting on the shelf for a while, put it on the engine and it works perfectly.
With my thoughts verified I decided to install the new cylinder, a new Wossner windowed piston, a new Larry modded head with compression release, and re-jet my carb.
Oh yeah, and install my 2 piece clutch cover...

sandblaster:
KIPPS move smoothly once the inner clutch cover is installed, Check



Water pump impeller clearance mod... Check



Everything bolted and torqued to factory specs, check.

sandblaster:
I should be able to start heat cycles tomorrow..  8-)
